So as a christmas treat, and to coincide with the release of a new site feature, I've decided to run VLA's first ever competition! :)

First, the feature - a new personal profile page for each member. On this page, each member can add a bit about themselves, a picture (or album of pics), links to favourite or personal webpages, and even their own files for others to download.The page can also display YouTube movies and other embeddable objects and can even contain a contact form which sends an email straight to the member whilst still keeping their email address private!

Anyway, this isn't MySpace, so you won't be able to put the content up there by yourself (unfortunately!). However, by contacting me (here or here) you can quite easily arrange for me to put the content up for you.

See my personal profile page for an example, although I'm sure you guys can think of much better things to put on than what's on mine! Pages are located through the 'Members' section of the site - scroll down to Waggly Bean and you'll see how the format works!

Now onto the competition! The best profile page (whether it makes me laugh, is just interesting or cool) wins a mystery prize! So get your thinking hats on, use your imagination and send me some content!!

Due to the group having recently lost a few members, the boosting lists have had some major changes made, leading to a few games having few or no members who own them.

If you're looking to boost a specific game and there's nobody to boost with, you can always check the list of ex-members games here. Of course they have no obligation to help you out, but I thought I'd leave their details in a file for anyone who wants to get in contact with them outside of the group. Remember, this will not be kept up to date like the site boosting lists, but it's a final port of call should you need to desperately boost a specific game!

So I've updated the front page with features that aren't so out-of-date (being as the NXE is out and all), and as an added xmas bonus, I've made the boosting lists look a little prettier and neater! Hope everyone likes it!
